###**Updates**

- **1.2.0**: [Custom tweens](http://VelocityJS.org/#progress). [Custom easings](http://VelocityJS.org/#easing). ["Finish" command](http://VelocityJS.org/#finish). See [commit log](https://github.com/julianshapiro/velocity/commit/2a28e3812c6fe9262244ed3b6d41d12ae9a107c6) for more.
- **1.0.0**: File name changed to `velocity.js`. Read [VelocityJS.org/#dependencies](http://VelocityJS.org/#dependencies). 
- **0.1.0**: `stop` now stops animations *immediately* (instead of only clearing the remainder of the animation queue). No other backwards-incompatible changes were made.

###**Comparisons**

- **CSS transitions** are meant for simple interface flourishes.
- **jQuery's $.animate()** is slow and poorly-equipped for motion design.
- **Velocity** is a fast, feature-rich standalone alternative to jQuery's $.animate().
